Five years later, Asta is finally ready to start yelling at our screens again.
Black Clover returns with Season 2 on October 3, bringing the anime back to television after its original run ended in March 2021 following 170 episodes.
That is a very long wait.
Especially when the story basically stopped right as things were getting serious.
The new season picks up around the Spade Kingdom conflict, with Asta and the Magic Knights facing the Dark Triad and their devil powered forces.
If you remember where we left things, Asta had been training alongside Liebe to master Devil Union, while the threat from the Spade Kingdom was getting significantly worse.
Yami and William had been captured.
The Clover and Heart Kingdoms were under threat.
And everyone desperately needed a power upgrade.
Basically, there is a lot to deal with.
Studio Pierrot is returning for the new season, with Ayataka Tanemura directing. Crunchyroll has also confirmed Black Clover as part of its Fall 2026 lineup, including availability across Africa and the Middle East.
So Moroccan fans are included in the comeback.
The return lands in an already ridiculous anime week.
The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 arrives October 2, Black Clover follows October 3 and Aoashi Season 2 lands October 4.
Apparently sleep has been removed from the weekend schedule.
But for Black Clover fans specifically, October 3 has been a long time coming.
The anime disappeared from weekly television in 2021.
Now the five year wait is almost over.
Asta, respectfully, you have been gone long enough.
